Gerry and family,We were very sorry to hear of Brendan's passing.We knew Brendan from St. B's school.My son,Ryan had the pleasure of being In class with Brendan from grade 1-7.We were very fond of him.Ryan would often take it upon himself to help Mrs.Spindlove with him.All the kids learned alot from Brendan,and I know Ryan was in awe of how bright he was.What we remember most about Brendan was how he liked to laugh.It will be a difficult time for all of you at this time and our thoughts and prayers go out to you all.Our apologies for not attending the service,but we only found out about him today,or we would have come.Thinking of you. Maureen and Phil Pilon,Ryan,Trev and Sarah
